In today's Parade (which is a magazine insert in many newspapers) mentioned Suzanne and John's father, Tex Ritter, in the Personality Parade portion of it:
Q: The last I heard, Suzanne Somers was treating her cancer with alternative medicine. How is she faring? -- Mona Davis, Samford, Conn.
A: "So far, so good," Somers, 57, tells us. "I have two more years before I'm out of the woods, but I feel healthy and stronger than ever." As proof, her Broadway-bound one-woman musical show, The Blonde in the Thunderbird, opens in San Diego on Jan. 22, and her 11th book, The Sexy Years: Discover the Hormone Connection, is due in March.
Q: The recent passing of John Ritter made me wonder when and how his dad, Tex Ritter, died. -- Rose Barnett, Cedar Hill, Mo.
A: Singing cowboy Tex Ritter--perhaps best known for the haunting Oscar-winning theme "Do Not Forsake Me," from the 1952 classic High Noon--died of a heart attack in 1974 at age 67. His widow, 1930s Western heroine Dorothy Fay, died at 88 last November--two months after her son, John. Incidentally, Tex was one of the six original inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
